i feel like not everyone always gets the life style extra, i've been subscribed for 4 months and i didn't get the detergent or tea. (unless there's other lifestyle extras??)

I think you're right. Thanks everyone for the feedback!

Not sure if this has already been asked.. :/

I unfortunately unsubbed thinking there would not be room in the budget this month for a BB - long story short, there is! But now I'm worried I missed my opportunity to snag an awesome box this month! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I signed into my account and added the monthly sub to my cart, it shows a shipping date of "June 17th, 2012"  - does this mean I can still get my June box!? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

actually, idk if this makes a difference, but it looks like the face wipes were listed as a "beauty extra"

I think so! I mean, July's box won't ship until July something, so it must be!

My thoughts exactly! (Hi, BB spy!) I love the spoilers, but I'm happy not to have them at the same time... I love looking through everything AND I love being surprised... equally, maybe! But so far, I'm always happy with my box. This will be month 4 for me. Hey, just curious, those who are signed up for multiple boxes, have you ever received two identical boxes? I am sticking with my one box, but I just wondered. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yep I have! Even though I have to completely different profiles, age, skin color, hair, beauty item. That's why I'm confident the profile doesn't matter!

That freakin' barrette looks as big as my forearm! Since it's a Jet Set theme... that barrette can double as a rudder or a floatation device!

If they do send out those barrettes, the fact that I just cut all my hair off pretty much guarantees they'll send me one!

Haha I know that feeling... I'm sticking with the theory that they are too big to fit in our boxes. (fingers crossed)

actually i think they gave out the tea in march (in the boxes that weren't teen vogue) and the detergent in april, but i might be wrong. i just don't remember anyone getting tea in april.

this leads me to believe everyone except the welcome boxes gets the same lifestyle extra, but like i said i might be wrong!

I got a welcome box in May and it contained the tea forte as the lifestyle extra.

I will be getting my first box this month, super excited about it!

I'm really pale, too. My legs are so white they almost glow in the dark. When I've tried self-tanners ( and I've tried drug store brands to high end) I just end up looking dirty. I'm jealous that they work for you.  When I do need some color, I use the kind that wash off.  I have one for the body by L'Oreal that's okay.  For my face I just use some powder bronzer in a light shade.

"Just to clarify, the John Varvatos cologne sample is an extra this month and meant to give you a taste of our Birchbox Man subscription. It's in addition to your 4-5 beauty samples—not in place of them! Give it to a lucky guy friend or family member—or try wearing it yourself "

if i can review it, with my man's input, then maybe it can make up for getting gipped with only 4 reviewable products last month (though i feel like it would still suck to get 4 items + the cologne).

I call bull, more like 'we had more of these to give out than Birchbox Man subscribers to give them to.'

Wait I think I read somewhere on here that the July box will be associated with Allure?

Allure is aligned with Sample Society, so I can't see them ever working with BB as long as SS is in business.

i think the july box is with glamour...

 

[lovepink]

Yes it is with Glamour.  There is already a thread up about it:

Yep, I'm pretty sure it is, here's the quote from their website: "Beauty junkies, this one's for you. To celebrate our Five Senses of Summer giveaway, Glamour has partnered with Birchbox, a subscription service that delivers a package of surprise luxe beauty samples to your door each month. (Our July boxes will feature favorites from Stila, Oscar de la Renta, Boscia, and more)"

yep I am pretty sure that would qualify as a breach of contract!

If you head over to the above thread regarding the July boxes, check out the cool Glamour/Birchbox boxes - they look so fun and fresh! (Yes, I get excited about packaging / presentation lol).

got my shipping notice too! Last month there was a 'wave' of boxes already in people's hands and a ton of you tube videos up before I got mine. My shipping info isn't available yet (or my box weight) so we'll see!
